Definitions
- the present invention relates in general to surgical instruments that are suitable for endoscopically inserting an end effector that is actuated by a longitudinally driven firing member, and more particularly a surgical stapling and severing instrument that has an articulating shaft.
- Endoscopic surgical instruments are often preferred over traditional open surgical devices since a smaller incision tends to reduce the post-operative recovery time and complications. Consequently, significant development has gone into a range of endoscopic surgical instruments that are suitable for precise placement of a distal end effector at a desired surgical site through a cannula of a trocar. These distal end effectors engage the tissue in a number of ways to achieve a diagnostic or therapeutic effect (e.g., endocutter, grasper, cutter, staplers, clip applier, access device, drug/gene therapy delivery device, and energy device using ultrasound, RF, laser, etc.).
- a diagnostic or therapeutic effect e.g., endocutter, grasper, cutter, staplers, clip applier, access device, drug/gene therapy delivery device, and energy device using ultrasound, RF, laser, etc.
- Positioning the end effector is constrained by the trocar.
- these endoscopic surgical instruments include a long shaft between the end effector and a handle portion manipulated by the clinician. This long shaft enables insertion to a desired depth and rotation about the longitudinal axis of the shaft, thereby positioning the end effector to a degree. With judicious placement of the trocar and use of graspers, for instance, through another trocar, often this amount of positioning is sufficient.
- Surgical stapling and severing instruments such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,465,895, are an example of an endoscopic surgical instrument that successfully positions an end effector by insertion and rotation.
- articulated This is typically accomplished by a pivot (or articulation) joint being placed in the extended shaft just proximal to the staple applying assembly. This allows the surgeon to articulate the staple applying assembly remotely to either side for better surgical placement of the staple lines and easier tissue manipulation and orientation. This articulated positioning permits the clinician to more easily engage tissue in some instances, such as behind an organ. In addition, articulated positioning advantageously allows an endoscope to be positioned behind the end effector without being blocked by the instrument shaft.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,865,361 that includes an articulation link offset from a camming pivot such that pushing or pulling longitudinal translation of the articulation link effects articulation to a respective side.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,797,537 discloses a similar rod passing through the shaft to effect articulation.
- the E-beam firing bar affirmatively spaces the anvil from the elongate channel to assure properly formed closed staples, especially when an amount of tissue is clamped that is inadequate to space the end effector.
- an upper pin of the firing bar longitudinally moves through an anvil slot and a channel slot is captured between a lower cap and a middle pin of the firing bar to assure a minimum spacing. While this E-beam firing bar has a number of advantages, additional features are desirable to enhance manufacturability and to minimize dimensional variations.
- the invention overcomes the above-noted and other deficiencies of the prior art by providing a firing mechanism that affirmatively vertically spaces an end effector of a surgical stapling and severing instrument.
- the instrument structurally assures adequate spacing to achieve proper stapling, even in instances where too little tissue is clamped in the end effector.
- Integrally forming these features into an E-beam that includes a cutting edge realizes consistent spacing and performance as the E-beam fires through an end effector such as a severing and stapling assembly.
- proximally attaching a separate, thinned firing bar to the E-beam enhances use in articulating surgical instruments wherein reduced cross sectional area and the ability to flex in a plane of articulation are desirable.
- a surgical instrument in one aspect of the invention, includes a handle portion operable to produce a firing motion that actuates an implement portion.
- This implement portion has an elongate channel that receives a staple cartridge opposed by a pivotally attached anvil.
- a firing device includes a distally presented cutting edge longitudinally received between the elongate channel and the anvil, an upper member engageable to the anvil channel, a lower member engaging the channel slot, and a middle member operable to actuate the wedge sled, which is integral to the staple cartridge.
- the middle member advantageously opposes pinching of the end effector, assuring proper staple formation even when an otherwise too small amount of tissue has been clamped.
- a surgical instrument that comprises an implement portion that is responsive to firing motions applied thereto from a robotic system.
- the implement portion comprises an elongate channel that is configured for attachment to an elongated shaft that operably interfaces with the robotic system and includes a channel slot.
- a staple cartridge is received by the elongate channel and incorporates a proximally positioned wedge member that is aligned to cam upward a driver supporting a staple.
- An anvil is pivotally coupled to the elongate channel and includes an anvil channel that comprises a vertical slot that is inwardly open along a longitudinal axis of the anvil.
- the anvil further comprising left and right rectangular prism-shaped recesses communicating with, bisected by, and transverse to the vertical slot, wherein the left and right rectangular prism-shaped recesses extend substantially along the longitudinal length of the vertical slot.
- Various embodiments further include a firing device that has a distally presented cutting edge that is longitudinally received between the elongate channel and the vertical slot of the anvil channel of the anvil.
- Various embodiments further include an upper member that is comprised of left and right lateral upper pins that are sized to slidingly engage upper and lower inner surfaces of the left and right rectangular-shaped recesses of the anvil channel.
- Various embodiments further include a lower member that engages the channel slot and a middle member that is operable to actuate the staple cartridge by distally translating the wedge member of the staple cartridge.
- the firing device positively engages both the elongate channel and the anvil during longitudinal firing travel to provide spacing therebetween for staple formation. Engagement of the firing device during firing maintains vertical spacing between the elongate channel and the anvil and serves to resist both pinching due to an inadequate clamped tissue and partial opening due to an excessive amount of clamped tissue.
- a surgical instrument that comprises an implement portion that is responsive to firing motions from a robotic system that is in communication therewith.
- the implement portion is diametrically dimensioned for endo-surgical use and in at least one form comprises an elongate channel that is coupled to an elongated shaft that operably interfaces with the robotic system.
- the elongate channel has a channel slot therein and an anvil is pivotally coupled to the elongate channel.
- the anvil is responsive to closing motions generated by the robotic system and which are applied to the anvil by the elongated shaft.
- the anvil includes an anvil channel.
- the implement portion further comprises a firing device that includes a distally presented cutting edge that is longitudinally received between the elongate channel and the anvil.
- the firing device is configured to affirmatively space the anvil from the elongate channel during longitudinal travel between the anvil and elongate channel, wherein the firing device is configured to affirmatively space the anvil from the elongate channel during longitudinal travel between the anvil and elongate channel by including an upper member having an upper surface and a lower surface that longitudinally slidingly engage the anvil.
- a surgical instrument that includes a robotic system that is operable to produce a plurality of control motions including a firing motion.
- the embodiment further includes an implement portion that is responsive to the firing motion from the robotic system.

- a surgical stapling instrument 10 has at its distal end an end effector, depicted as a staple applying assembly 12 , spaced apart from a handle 14 ( FIG. 2 ) by an elongate shaft 16 .
- the staple applying assembly 12 includes a staple channel 18 for receiving a replaceable staple cartridge 20 .
- Pivotally attached to the staple channel 18 is an anvil 22 that clamps tissue to the staple cartridge 20 and serves to deform staples 23 ( FIG. 3 ) driven up from staple holes 24 in the staple cartridge 20 against staple forming recesses 26 ( FIG. 6 ) in an anvil undersurface 28 into a closed shape.
- the staple applying assembly 12 When the staple applying assembly 12 is closed, its cross sectional area, as well as the elongate shaft 16 are suitable for insertion through a small surgical opening, such as through a cannula of a trocar (not shown).
- a rotation knob 30 causes rotation of the shaft 16 about its longitudinal axis, and hence rotation of the staple applying assembly 12 . Additional positioning is enabled at an articulation joint 32 in the shaft 16 that pivots the staple applying assembly 12 in an arc from the longitudinal axis of the shaft 16 , thereby allowing placement behind an organ or allowing other instruments such as an endoscope (not shown) to be oriented behind the staple applying assembly 12 .
- This articulation is advantageously effected by an articulation control switch 34 on the handle 14 that transmits an electrical signal to the articulation joint 32 to an Electroactive Polymer (EAP) actuator 36 , powered by an EAP controller and power supply 38 contained within the handle 14 .
- EAP Electroactive Polymer
- a surgeon closes the anvil 22 by drawing a closure trigger 40 proximally toward a pistol grip 42 . Once clamped thus, the surgeon may grasp a more distally presented firing trigger 44 , drawing it back to effect firing of the staple applying assembly 12 , which in some applications is achieved in one single firing stroke and in other applications by multiple firing strokes. Firing accomplishes simultaneously stapling of at least two rows of staples while severing the tissue therebetween.
- Retraction of the firing components may be automatically initiated upon full travel.
- a retraction lever 46 may be drawn aft to effect retraction.
- the staple applying assembly 12 may be unclamped and opened by the surgeon slightly drawing the closure trigger 40 aft toward the pistol grip 42 and depressing a closure release button 48 and then releasing the closure trigger 40 , thereby releasing the two stapled ends of severed tissue from the staple applying assembly 12 .
- FIG. 1 While an articulation joint 32 is depicted in FIG. 1 , for clarity and as an alternative application, the surgical stapling instrument 10 of FIGS. 2 - 14 omit an articulation joint 32 . It should be appreciated, however, that aspects of the present invention have particular advantages for articulation as described below with regard to FIGS. 15 - 18 .
- the staple applying assembly 12 accomplishes the functions of clamping onto tissue, driving staples and severing tissue by two distinct motions transferred longitudinally down the shaft 16 over a shaft frame 70 .
- This shaft frame 70 is proximally attached to the handle 14 and coupled for rotation with the rotation knob 30 .
- An illustrative multi-stroke handle 14 for the surgical stapling and severing instrument 10 of FIG. 1 is described in greater detail in the co-owned U.S. patent application entitled SURGICAL STAPLING INSTRUMENT INCORPORATING A MULTISTROKE FIRING POSITION INDICATOR AND RETRACTION MECHANISM, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/674,026, now U.S. Pat.
- the distal end of the shaft frame 70 is attached to the staple channel 18 .
- the anvil 22 has a proximal pivoting end 72 that is pivotally received within a proximal end 74 of the staple channel 18 , just distal to its engagement to the shaft frame 70 .
- the pivoting end 72 of the anvil 22 includes a closure feature 76 proximate but distal to its pivotal attachment with the staple channel 18 .
- a closure tube 78 whose distal end includes a horseshoe aperture 80 that engages this closure feature 76 , selectively imparts an opening motion to the anvil 22 during proximal longitudinal motion and a closing motion to the anvil 22 during distal longitudinal motion of the closure tube 78 sliding over the shaft frame 70 in response to the closure trigger 40 .
- the shaft frame 70 encompasses and guides a firing motion from the handle 14 through a longitudinally reciprocating, two-piece knife and firing bar 90 .
- the shaft frame 70 includes a longitudinal firing bar slot 92 that receives a proximal portion of the two-piece knife and firing bar 90 , specifically a laminate tapered firing bar 94 .
- the laminated tapered firing bar 94 may be substituted with a solid firing bar or of other materials in applications not intended to pass through an articulation joint, such as depicted in FIGS. 2 - 14 .
- An E-beam 102 is the distal portion of the two-piece knife and firing bar 90 , which facilitates separate closure and firing as well as spacing of the anvil 22 from the elongate staple channel 18 during firing.
- the knife and firing bar 90 are formed of a female vertical attachment aperture 104 proximally formed in the E-beam 102 that receives a corresponding male attachment member 106 distally presented by the laminated tapered firing bar 94 , allowing each portion to be formed of a selected material and process suitable for their disparate functions (e.g., strength, flexibility, friction).
- the E-beam 102 may be advantageously formed of a material having suitable material properties for forming a pair of top pins 110 , a pair of middle pins 112 and a bottom pin or foot 114 , as well as being able to acquire a sharp cutting edge 116 .
- integrally formed and proximally projecting top guide 118 and middle guide 120 bracketing each vertical end of the cutting edge 116 further define a tissue staging area 122 assisting in guiding tissue to the sharp cutting edge 116 prior to being severed.
- the middle guide 120 also serves to engage and fire the staple applying apparatus 12 by abutting a stepped central member 124 of a wedge sled 126 ( FIG. 5 ) that effects staple formation by the staple applying assembly 12 , as described in greater detail below.
- top pins 110 , middle pins 112 , and bottom foot 114 integrally with the E-beam 102 facilitates manufacturing at tighter tolerances relative to one another as compared to being assembled from a plurality of parts, ensuring desired operation during firing and/or effective interaction with various lockout features of the staple applying assembly 12 .
- FIGS. 6 - 7 the surgical stapling instrument 10 is shown open, with the E-beam 102 fully retracted.
- the lower foot 114 of the E-beam 102 is dropped through a widened hole 130 in the staple channel 18 and the E-beam 102 is then advanced such that the E-beam 102 slides distally along a lower track 132 formed in the staple channel 18 .
- the lower track 132 includes a narrow slot 133 that opens up as a widened slot 134 on an undersurface of the staple channel 18 to form an inverted T-shape in lateral cross section, as depicted particularly in FIGS. 7 and 8 , which communicates with the widened hole 130 .
- the laminate tapered firing bar 94 facilitates insertion of the staple applying assembly 12 through a trocar.
- a more distal, downward projection 136 raises the E-beam 102 when fully retracted. This is accomplished by placement of the downward projection 136 at a point where it cams upwardly on a proximal edge of the widened hole 130 in the staple channel 18 .
- the laminate tapered firing bar 94 also enhances operation of certain lockout features that may be incorporated into the staple channel 18 by including a more proximal upward projection 138 that is urged downwardly by the shaft frame 70 during an initial portion of the firing travel.
- a lateral bar 140 is defined between a pair of square apertures 142 in the shaft frame 70 ( FIG. 3 ).
- a clip spring 144 that encompasses the lateral bar 140 downwardly urges a portion of the laminate tapered firing bar 94 projecting distally out of the longitudinal firing bar slot 92 , which ensures certain advantageous lockout features are engaged when appropriate. This urging is more pronounced or confined solely to that portion of the firing travel when the upward projection 138 contacts the clip spring 144 .
- FIGS. 6 - 7 the E-beam 102 is retracted with the top pins 110 thereof residing within an anvil pocket 150 near the pivoting proximal end of the anvil 22 .
- a downwardly open vertical anvil slot 152 ( FIG. 2 ) laterally widens in the anvil 22 into an anvil internal track 154 that captures the top pins 110 of the E-beam 102 as they distally advance during firing, as depicted in FIGS. 9 - 10 , affirmatively spacing the anvil 22 from the staple channel 18 .
- the surgeon is able to repeatably open and close the staple applying assembly 12 until satisfied with the placement and orientation of tissue captured therein for stapling and severing, yet the E-beam 102 assists in proper positioning of tissue even for a staple applying assembly 12 of reduced diameter and correspondingly reduced rigidity.
- the staple applying assembly 12 is shown with the replaceable staple cartridge 20 that includes the wedge sled 126 .
- Longitudinally aligned and parallel plurality of downwardly open wedge slots 202 receive respective wedges 204 integral to the wedge sled 126 .
- the wedge sled 126 thus cams upwardly a plurality of staple drivers 206 that are vertically slidable within staple driver recesses 208 .
- each staple driver 206 includes two vertical prongs, each translating upwardly into a respective staple hole 210 to upwardly force out and deform a staple 23 resting thereupon against a staple forming surface 214 ( FIG. 10 ) of the anvil 22 .
- a central firing recess 216 ( FIG. 3 ) defined within the staple cartridge 20 proximate to the staple channel 18 allows the passage of the bottom, horizontal portion 218 ( FIG. 5 ) of the wedge sled 126 as well as the middle pins 112 of the E-beam 102 .
- a staple cartridge tray 220 FIGS.
- Firing the staple applying assembly 12 begins as depicted in FIG. 10 with the two-piece knife and firing bar 90 proximally drawn until the downward projection 136 cams the middle guide 120 on the E-beam 102 upward and aft, allowing a new staple cartridge 20 to be inserted into the staple channel 18 when the anvil 22 is open as depicted in FIGS. 2 , 6 .
- the two-piece knife and firing bar 90 has been distally advanced a small distance, allowing the downward projection 136 to drop into the widened hole 130 of the lower track 132 under the urging of the clip spring 144 against the upward projection 138 of the laminate tapered firing bar 94 .
- the middle guide 120 prevents further downward rotation by resting upon the stepped central member 124 of the wedge sled 126 , thus maintaining the middle pin 112 of the E-beam within the central firing recess 216 .
- the two-piece knife and firing bar 90 has been distally fired, advancing the wedge sled 126 to cause formation of staples 23 while severing tissue 242 clamped between the anvil 22 and staple cartridge 20 with the sharp cutting edge 116 . Thereafter, in FIG. 13 , the two-piece knife and firing bar 90 is retracted, leaving the wedge sled 126 distally positioned.
- the middle pin 112 is allowed to translate down into a lockout recess 240 formed in the staple channel 18 (also see FIGS. 7 , 10 ).
- the operator would receive a tactile indication as the middle pin 112 encounters the distal edge of the lockout recess 240 when the wedge sled 126 (not shown in FIG. 14 ) is not proximally positioned (i.e., missing staple cartridge 20 or spent staple cartridge 20 ).
- an articulation joint 32 is depicted that advantageously benefits from the flexible strength of the two-piece knife and firing bar 90 .
- the articulation joint 32 is depicted as a flex neck joint 300 formed by vertebral column body 302 having laterally symmetric pairs of arcing recesses 304 that allow articulation in an articulation plane. It is generally known to simultaneously compress and expand respective lateral sides 306 , 308 by selective movement of control rods (not shown) that longitudinally pass through the respective lateral sides 306 , 308 .
- EAP plate actuators 310 , 312 each capable of powered deflection to one or both lateral directions.
- a central passage 320 ( FIG. 16 ) defined longitudinally through the vertebral column body 302 receives a pair of support plates 322 , 324 that prevent buckling and binding of the laminate tapered firing bar 94 .
- each support plate 322 , 324 has a proximal fixed end 326 ( FIG. 15 ) and a sliding end 328 to accommodate changes in radial distance during articulation. Having a firing bar 94 of a thinner thickness is thus supported.
- the wedge sled may be integral instead to an E-beam.
- an entire end effector may be replaceable rather than just the staple cartridge.
- FIG. 19 depicts one version of a master controller 1001 that may be used in connection with a robotic arm slave cart 1100 of the type depicted in FIG. 20 .
- Master controller 1001 and robotic arm slave cart 1100 are collectively referred to herein as a robotic system 1000 .

- the surgical tool 1200 is operably coupled to the manipulator by a tool mounting portion, generally designated as 1300 .
- the surgical tool 1200 further includes an interface 1230 which mechanically and electrically couples the tool mounting portion 1300 to the manipulator.
- interface 1230 is illustrated in FIGS. 24 - 28 .
- the tool mounting portion 1300 includes a tool mounting plate 1302 that operably supports a plurality of (four are shown in FIG. 28 ) rotatable body portions, driven discs or elements 1304 , that each include a pair of pins 1306 that extend from a surface of the driven element 1304 .
- One pin 1306 is closer to an axis of rotation of each driven elements 1304 than the other pin 1306 on the same driven element 1304 , which helps to ensure positive angular alignment of the driven element 1304 .
- Interface 1230 includes an adaptor portion 1240 that is configured to mountingly engage the mounting plate 1302 as will be further discussed below.
- the adaptor portion 1240 may include an array of electrical connecting pins 1242 ( FIG. 26 ) which may be coupled to a memory structure by a circuit board within the tool mounting portion 1300 . While interface 1230 is described herein with reference to mechanical, electrical, and magnetic coupling elements, it should be understood that a wide variety of telemetry modalities might be used, including infrared, inductive coupling, or the like.
- the adapter portion 1240 generally includes a tool side 1244 and a holder side 1246 .
- a plurality of rotatable bodies 1250 are mounted to a floating plate 1248 which has a limited range of movement relative to the surrounding adaptor structure normal to the major surfaces of the adaptor 1240 .
- Axial movement of the floating plate 1248 helps decouple the rotatable bodies 1250 from the tool mounting portion 1300 when the levers 1303 along the sides of the tool mounting portion housing 1301 are actuated (See FIG. 23 ).

- tabs 1252 (extending radially from the rotatable bodies 1250 ) laterally engage detents on the floating plates so as to limit angular rotation of the rotatable bodies 1250 about their axes.
- This limited rotation can be used to help drivingly engage the rotatable bodies 1250 with drive pins 1272 of a corresponding tool holder portion 1270 of the robotic system 1000 , as the drive pins 1272 will push the rotatable bodies 1250 into the limited rotation position until the pins 1234 are aligned with (and slide into) openings 1256 ′.
- Openings 1256 on the tool side 1244 and openings 1256 ′ on the holder side 1246 of rotatable bodies 1250 are configured to accurately align the driven elements 1304 ( FIG. 28 ) of the tool mounting portion 1300 with the drive elements 1271 of the tool holder 1270 .
- the openings 1256 , 1256 ′ are at differing distances from the axis of rotation on their respective rotatable bodies 1250 so as to ensure that the alignment is not 180 degrees from its intended position. Additionally, each of the openings 1256 is slightly radially elongated so as to fittingly receive the pins 1306 in the circumferential orientation. This allows the pins 1306 to slide radially within the openings 1256 , 1256 ′ and accommodate some axial misalignment between the tool 1200 and tool holder 1270 , while minimizing any angular misalignment and backlash between the drive and driven elements. Openings 1256 on the tool side 1244 are offset by about 90 degrees from the openings 1256 ′ (shown in broken lines) on the holder side 1246 , as can be seen most clearly in FIG. 27 .

- Application of a first rotary output motion from the tool drive assembly 1010 of the robotic system 1000 to the corresponding driven element 1304 will thereby cause rotation of the rotation drive gear 2072 .
- Rotation of the rotation drive gear 2072 ultimately results in the rotation of the elongated shaft assembly 2008 (and the surgical end effector 2012 ) about the longitudinal tool axis LT-LT (represented by arrow “R” in FIG. 31 ).
- the application of a rotary output motion from the tool drive assembly 1010 in one direction will result in the rotation of the elongated shaft assembly 2008 and surgical end effector 2012 about the longitudinal tool axis LT-LT in a first direction and an application of the rotary output motion in an opposite direction will result in the rotation of the elongated shaft assembly 2008 and surgical end effector 2012 in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction.

- the sled 2333 may be made of, for example, plastic, and may have a sloped distal surface. As the sled 2333 traverses the elongated channel 2322 , the sloped forward surface of the sled 2333 pushes up or “drive” the staples in the surgical staple cartridge 2334 through the clamped tissue and against the anvil 2324 . The anvil 2324 turns or “forms” the staples, thereby stapling the severed tissue.
- the term “fire” refers to the initiation of actions required to drive the cutting instrument and sled portion in a distal direction through the surgical staple cartridge to cut the tissue clamped in the surgical end effector and drive the staples through the severed tissue.
- the transmission arrangement 2375 includes a rotational transmission assembly 2465 that is configured to receive a corresponding rotary output motion from the tool drive assembly 1010 of the robotic system 1000 and convert that rotary output motion to a rotary control motion for rotating the elongated shaft assembly 2308 (and surgical end effector 2312 ) about the longitudinal tool axis LT-LT.

- Closure of the anvil 2324 relative to the staple cartridge 2034 is accomplished by axially moving the closure tube 2370 in the distal direction “DD”. Axial movement of the closure tube 2370 in the distal direction “DD” is accomplished by applying a rotary control motion to the closure drive nut 2382 . To apply the rotary control motion to the closure drive nut 2382 , the closure clutch 2410 must first be brought into meshing engagement with the proximal end portion 2384 of the closure drive nut 2382 .

- Application of a second rotary output motion from the robotic system 1000 through the tool drive assembly 1010 to the corresponding driven element 1304 will thereby cause rotation of the shifter drive gear 2483 by virtue of being operably coupled thereto.
- Rotation of the shifter drive gear 2483 ultimately results in the axial movement of the shifter gear rack 2482 and the proximal spine portion 2353 as well as the drive sleeve 2400 and the closure clutch 2410 attached thereto.
- the direction of axial travel of the closure clutch 2410 depends upon the direction in which the shifter drive gear 2483 is rotated by the robotic system 1000 .
- rotation of the shifter drive gear 2483 in a first rotary direction will result in the axial movement of the closure clutch 2410 in the proximal direction “PD” to bring the proximal teeth 2416 into meshing engagement with the proximal teeth cavities 2418 in the closure drive nut 2382 .

- the second rotary driven gear 2493 is coupled to a proximal end portion 2443 of the drive shaft 2440 .
- Rotation of the rotary drive gear 2491 in a first rotary direction will result in the rotation of the drive shaft 2440 in a first direction.
- rotation of the rotary drive gear 2491 in a second rotary direction (opposite to the first rotary direction) will cause the drive shaft 2440 to rotate in a second direction.
- the drive shaft 2440 has a drive gear 2444 that is attached to its distal end 2442 and is in meshing engagement with a driven gear 2450 that is attached to the drive sleeve 2400 .

- the robotic controller 1001 determines that the anvil 2334 has been pivoted to the closed position by corresponding sensor(s) in the surgical end effector 2312 in communication therewith (not shown), the robotic system 1000 discontinues the application of the second rotary output motion to the rotary drive gear 2491 .
- the robotic controller 1001 may also provide the surgeon with an indication that the anvil 2334 has been fully closed. The surgeon may then initiate the firing procedure. In alternative embodiments, the firing procedure may be automatically initiated by the robotic controller 1001 .
- the robotic controller 1001 then applies the primary rotary control motion 2483 to the shifter drive gear 2483 which results in the axial movement of the closure clutch 2410 into meshing engagement with the face plate portion 2424 of the knife drive shaft assembly 2420 . See FIG. 43 .
- the robotic controller 1001 of the robotic system 1000 may then apply the second rotary output motion to the rotary drive gear 2492 which, as was described above, ultimately results in the axial movement of the cutting instrument 2332 and sled portion 2333 in the distal direction “DD” through the surgical staple cartridge 2334 .
- the tissue clamped therein is severed.
- the robotic controller 1001 As the sled portion 2333 is driven distally, it causes the staples within the surgical staple cartridge to be driven through the severed tissue into forming contact with the anvil 2324 .
- the robotic controller 1001 discontinues the application of the second rotary output motion to the rotary drive gear 2491 . Thereafter, the robotic controller 1001 applies the secondary rotary output motion to the rotary drive gear 2491 which ultimately results in the axial travel of the cutting instrument 2332 and sled portion 2333 in the proximal direction “PD” to the starting position.
- the robotic controller 1001 Once the robotic controller 1001 has determined that the cutting instrument 2324 has reached the staring position by means of sensor(s) in the surgical end effector 2312 that are in communication with the robotic controller 1001 , the robotic controller 1001 discontinues the application of the secondary rotary output motion to the rotary drive gear 2491 . Thereafter, the robotic controller 1001 applies the primary rotary output motion to the shifter drive gear 2483 to cause the closure clutch 2410 to move into engagement with the rotary drive nut 2382 .
- the robotic controller 1001 then applies the secondary output motion to the rotary drive gear 2491 which ultimately results in the rotation of the rotary drive nut 2382 in the second direction to cause the closure tube 2370 to move in the proximal direction “PD”.

Thereafter, the robotic controller 1001 may apply the secondary rotary output motion to the closure drive gear 2622 which results in the rotation of the knife bar 2580 in a secondary direction. Rotation of the knife bar 2580 in the secondary direction results in the rotation of the closure drive nut 2560 in a secondary direction. As the closure drive nut 2560 rotates in the secondary direction, the closure tube 2550 moves in the proximal direction “PD” to the open position.

- FIG. 60 depicts the end effector 3212 in the open position. As indicated above, when the threaded closure rod 3342 is in the position depicted in FIG. 60 , a spring (not shown) biases the anvil 3224 to the open position.
- the robotic controller 1001 will activate the second motor 3360 to rotate the closure shaft 3340 to draw the threaded closure rod 3342 and the channel 3222 in the proximal direction ‘D’. As the anvil 3224 contacts the distal end portion 3209 of the shaft 3208 , the anvil 3224 is pivoted to the closed position.
- the robotic system 1000 can orient the end effector 3212 in position adjacent the target tissue to be cut and stapled. If the anvil 3224 is not already in the open position, the robotic controller 1001 may activate the second closure motor 3360 to drive the channel 3222 in the distal direction to the position depicted in FIG. 60 . Once the robotic controller 1001 determines that the surgical end effector 3212 is in the open position by sensor(s) in the and effector and/or the tool mounting portion 3300 , the robotic controller 1001 may provide the surgeon with a signal to inform the surgeon that the anvil 3224 may then be closed.

- the second closure motor 3360 applies a rotary motion to the closure shaft 3340 to draw the channel 3222 in the proximal direction “PD” until the anvil 3224 has been pivoted to the closed position.
- the robotic controller 1001 determines that the anvil 3224 has been moved to the closed position by sensor(s) in the surgical end effector 3212 and/or in the tool mounting portion 3300 that are in communication with the robotic control system, the motor 3360 may be deactivated.

- FIGS. 61 and 62 illustrate surgical tools 3200 ′ and 3200 ′′ that have end effectors 3212 ′, 3212 ′′, respectively that may be employed with an elongated shaft embodiment that has an articulation joint of the various types disclosed herein.
- a threaded closure shaft 3342 is coupled to the proximal end 3223 of the elongated channel 3222 by a flexible cable or other flexible member 3345 .
- the location of an articulation joint (not shown) within the elongated shaft assembly 3208 will coincide with the flexible member 3345 to enable the flexible member 3345 to accommodate such articulation.
- the flexible member 33345 is rotatably affixed to the proximal end portion 3223 of the elongated channel 3222 to enable the flexible member 3345 to rotate relative thereto to prevent the flexible member 3229 from “winding up” relative to the channel 3222 .
- the cutting element may be driven in one of the above described manners by a knife bar that can also accommodate articulation of the elongated shaft assembly.
- FIG. 62 depicts a surgical end effector 3212 ′′ that is substantially identical to the surgical end effector 3212 described above, except that the threaded closure rod 3342 is attached to a closure nut 3347 that is constrained to only move axially within the elongated shaft assembly 3208 .
- the flexible member 3345 is attached to the closure nut 3347 . Such arrangement also prevents the threaded closure rod 3342 from winding-up the flexible member 3345 .
- a flexible knife bar 3235 ′ may be employed to facilitate articulation of the surgical end effector 3212 ′′.
- the surgical tools 3200 , 3200 ′, and 3200 ′′ described above may also employ anyone of the cutting instrument embodiments described herein.
- the anvil of each of the end effectors of these tools is closed by drawing the elongated channel into contact with the distal end of the elongated shaft assembly.
- the robotic controller 1001 can start to draw the channel 3222 inward into the shaft assembly 3208 .
- the controller 1001 may simultaneously move the tool holder and ultimately the tool such to compensate for the movement of the elongated channel 3222 so that, in effect, the target tissue is clamped between the anvil and the elongated channel without being otherwise moved.
- FIGS. 63 - 65 depict another surgical tool embodiment 3201 that is substantially identical to surgical tool 3200 ′′ described above, except for the differences discussed below.
- the threaded closure rod 3342 ′ has variable pitched grooves. More specifically, as can be seen in FIG. 64 , the closure rod 3342 ′ has a distal groove section 3380 and a proximal groove section 3382 . The distal and proximal groove sections 3380 , 3382 are configured for engagement with a lug 3390 supported within the hollow threaded end portion 3341 ′. As can be seen in FIG. 64 , the distal groove section 3380 has a finer pitch than the groove section 3382 .
- variable pitch arrangement permits the elongated channel 3222 to be drawn into the shaft 3208 at a first speed or rate by virtue of the engagement between the lug 3390 and the proximal groove segment 3382 .
- the channel 3222 will be drawn into the shaft 3208 at a second speed or rate.
- the proximal groove segment 3382 is coarser than the distal groove segment 3380 , the first speed will be greater than the second speed.
- Such arrangement serves to speed up the initial closing of the end effector for tissue manipulation and then after the tissue has been properly positioned therein, generate the amount of closure forces to properly clamp the tissue for cutting and sealing.
- the anvil 3234 initially closes fast with a lower force and then applies a higher closing force as the anvil closes more slowly.
- the surgical end effector opening and closing motions are employed to enable the user to use the end effector to grasp and manipulate tissue prior to fully clamping it in the desired location for cutting and sealing.
- the user may, for example, open and close the surgical end effector numerous times during this process to orient the end effector in a proper position which enables the tissue to be held in a desired location.
- the fine thread may require as many as 5-10 full rotations to generate the necessary load. In some cases, for example, this action could take as long as 2-5 seconds. If it also took an equally long time to open and close the end effector each time during the positioning/tissue manipulation process, just positioning the end effector may take an undesirably long time. If that happens, it is possible that a user may abandon such use of the end effector for use of a conventional grasper device. Use of graspers, etc. may undesirably increase the costs associated with completing the surgical procedure.
- the above-described embodiments employ a battery or batteries to power the motors used to drive the end effector components. Activation of the motors is controlled by the robotic system 1000 .
- the power supply may comprise alternating current “AC” that is supplied to the motors by the robotic system 1000 . That is, the AC power would be supplied from the system powering the robotic system 1000 through the tool holder and adapter.
- a power cord or tether may be attached to the tool mounting portion 3300 to supply the requisite power from a separate source of alternating or direct current.
- the controller 1001 may apply an initial rotary motion to the closure shaft 3340 ( FIG. 60 ) to draw the elongated channel 3222 axially inwardly into the elongated shaft assembly 3208 and move the anvil from a first position to an intermediate position at a first rate that corresponds with the point wherein the distal groove section 3380 transitions to the proximal groove section 3382 . Further application of rotary motion to the closure shaft 3340 will cause the anvil to move from the intermediate position to the closed position relative to the surgical staple cartridge. When in the closed position, the tissue to be cut and stapled is properly clamped between the anvil and the surgical staple cartridge.
- FIGS. 66 - 69 illustrate another surgical tool embodiment 3400 of the present invention.

- the anvil 3524 is moved between the open ( FIG. 66 ) and closed positions ( FIGS. 67 - 69 ) by a distal closure tube segment 3430 .
- a distal end portion 3432 of the distal closure tube segment 3430 includes an opening 3445 into which a tab 3527 on the anvil 3524 is inserted in order to open and close the anvil 3524 as the distal closure tube segment 3430 moves axially relative thereto.
- the opening 3445 is shaped such that as the closure tube segment 3430 is moved in the proximal direction, the closure tube segment 3430 causes the anvil 3524 to pivot to an open position.
- a spring (not shown) may be employed to bias the anvil 3524 to the open position.
- the distal closure tube segment 3430 includes a lug 3442 that extends from its distal end 3440 into threaded engagement with a variable pitch groove/thread 3414 formed in the distal end 3412 of the rotatable proximal closure tube segment 3410 .
- the variable pitch groove/thread 3414 has a distal section 3416 and a proximal section 3418 .
- the pitch of the distal groove/thread section 3416 is finer than the pitch of the proximal groove/thread section 3418 .
- the distal closure tube segment 3430 is constrained for axial movement relative to the spine member 3420 by an axial retainer pin 3450 that is received in an axial slot 3424 in the distal end of the spine member 3420 .
- the anvil 2524 is open and closed by rotating the proximal closure tube segment 3410 .
- the variable pitch thread arrangement permits the distal closure tube segment 3430 to be driven in the distal direction “DD” at a first speed or rate by virtue of the engagement between the lug 3442 and the proximal groove/thread section 3418 .
- the lug 3442 engages the distal groove/thread section 3416
- the distal closure tube segment 3430 will be driven in the distal direction at a second speed or rate. Because the proximal groove/thread section 3418 is coarser than the distal groove/thread segment 3416 , the first speed will be greater than the second speed.
- the tool mounting portion 3500 is configured to receive a corresponding first rotary motion from the robotic controller 1001 and convert that first rotary motion to a primary rotary motion for rotating the rotatable proximal closure tube segment 3410 about a longitudinal tool axis LT-LT.
- a proximal end 3460 of the proximal closure tube segment 3410 is rotatably supported within a cradle arrangement 3504 attached to a tool mounting plate 3502 of the tool mounting portion 3500 .

- the rotation drive assembly 3470 further comprises a rotary driven gear 3474 that is rotatably supported on the tool mounting plate 3502 in meshing engagement with the rotation gear 3462 and the rotation drive gear 3472 .
- Application of a first rotary control motion from the robotic controller 1001 through the tool holder 1270 and the adapter 1240 to the corresponding driven element 1304 will thereby cause rotation of the rotation drive gear 3472 by virtue of being operably coupled thereto. Rotation of the rotation drive gear 3472 ultimately results in the rotation of the closure tube segment 3410 to open and close the anvil 3524 as described above.

See FIGS. 28 and 70 .
- the knife drive assembly 3480 further comprises a first rotary driven gear assembly 3484 that is rotatably supported on the tool mounting plate 5200 .
- the first rotary driven gear assembly 3484 is in meshing engagement with a third rotary driven gear assembly 3486 that is rotatably supported on the tool mounting plate 3502 and which is in meshing engagement with a fourth rotary driven gear assembly 3488 that is in meshing engagement with a threaded portion 3494 of drive shaft assembly 3490 that is coupled to the knife bar 3492 .
- Rotation of the rotary drive gear 3482 in a second rotary direction will result in the axial advancement of the drive shaft assembly 3490 and knife bar 3492 in the distal direction “DD”.
- rotation of the rotary drive gear 3482 in a secondary rotary direction (opposite to the second rotary direction) will cause the drive shaft assembly 3490 and the knife bar 3492 to move in the proximal direction.

- the axial direction in which the proximal closure tube 6040 moves ultimately depends upon the direction in which the third driven element 1304 is rotated.
- the closure sled 6510 will be driven in the distal direction “DD” and ultimately drive the proximal closure tube 6040 in the distal direction “DD”.
- the distal closure tube 6042 is also driven distally by virtue of it connection with the proximal closure tube 6040 .

- the inventive surgical instrument disclosed herein need not be a cutting-type surgical instrument, but rather could be used in any type of surgical instrument including remote sensor transponders.
- it could be a non-cutting endoscopic instrument, a grasper, a stapler, a clip applier, an access device, a drug/gene therapy delivery device, an energy device using ultrasound, RF, laser, etc.
- the present invention may be in laparoscopic instruments, for example.
- the present invention also has application in conventional endoscopic and open surgical instrumentation as well as robotic-assisted surgery.
- FIG. 135 depicts use of various aspects of certain embodiments of the present invention in connection with a surgical tool 7000 that has an ultrasonically powered end effector 7012 .
- the end effector 7012 is operably attached to a tool mounting portion 7100 by an elongated shaft assembly 7008 .

- the movable jaw portion 7016 may be selectively actuated by the robotic controller 1001 through the tool mounting portion 7100 in anyone of the various manners herein described.
- FIG. 136 illustrates use of various aspects of certain embodiments of the present invention in connection with a surgical tool 8000 that has an end effector 8012 that comprises a linear stapling device.
- the end effector 8012 is operably attached to a tool mounting portion 8100 by an elongated shaft assembly 3700 of the type and construction describe above.
- the end effector 8012 may be attached to the tool mounting portion 8100 by a variety of other elongated shaft assemblies described herein.
- the tool mounting portion 8100 may be substantially similar to tool mounting portion 3750 .
- various other tool mounting portions and their respective transmission arrangements describe in detail herein may also be employed.
- Such linear stapling head portions are also disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 7,673,781, entitled SURGICAL STAPLING DEVICE WITH STAPLE DRIVER THAT SUPPORTS MULTIPLE-WIRE DIAMETER STAPLES, the entire disclosure of which is herein incorporated by reference.
- the master controller 1001 generally includes master controllers (generally represented by 1003 ) which are grasped by the surgeon and manipulated in space while the surgeon views the procedure via a stereo display 1002 . See FIG. 1 .
- the master controllers 1001 are manual input devices which preferably move with multiple degrees of freedom, and which often further have an actuatable handle for actuating the surgical tools.
- Some of the surgical tool embodiments disclosed herein employ a motor or motors in their tool drive portion to supply various control motions to the tool's end effector. Such embodiments may also obtain additional control motion(s) from the motor arrangement employed in the robotic system components. Other embodiments disclosed herein obtain all of the control motions from motor arrangements within the robotic system.
- Such motor powered arrangements may employ various sensor arrangements that are disclosed in the published U.S. patent application cited above to provide the surgeon with a variety of forms of feedback without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
- those master controller arrangements 1003 that employ a manually actuatable firing trigger can employ run motor sensor(s) (not shown) to provide the surgeon with feedback relating to the amount of force applied to or being experienced by the cutting member.
- the run motor sensor(s) may be configured for communication with the firing trigger portion to detect when the firing trigger portion has been actuated to commence the cutting/stapling operation by the end effector.
- the run motor sensor may be a proportional sensor such as, for example, a rheostat or variable resistor.
- the sensor When the firing trigger is drawn in, the sensor detects the movement, and sends an electrical signal indicative of the voltage (or power) to be supplied to the corresponding motor.
- the rotation of the motor may be generally proportional to the amount of movement of the firing trigger. That is, if the operator only draws or closes the firing trigger in a small amount, the rotation of the motor is relatively low.
- the rotation of the motor is at its maximum. In other words, the harder the surgeon pulls on the firing trigger, the more voltage is applied to the motor causing greater rates of rotation.
- Other arrangements may provide the surgeon with a feed back meter 1005 that may be viewed through the display 1002 and provide the surgeon with a visual indication of the amount of force being applied to the cutting instrument or dynamic clamping member.
- Other sensor arrangements may be employed to provide the master controller 1001 with an indication as to whether a staple cartridge has been loaded into the end effector, whether the anvil has been moved to a closed position prior to firing, etc.
- a motor-controlled interface may be employed in connection with the controller 1001 that limit the maximum trigger pull based on the amount of loading (e.g., clamping force, cutting force, etc.) experienced by the surgical end effector. For example, the harder it is to drive the cutting instrument through the tissue clamped within the end effector, the harder it would be to pull/actuate the activation trigger.
- the trigger on the controller 1001 is arranged such that the trigger pull location is proportionate to the end effector-location/condition. For example, the trigger is only fully depressed when the end effector is fully fired.
- the devices disclosed herein can be designed to be disposed of after a single use, or they can be designed to be used multiple times. In either case, however, the device can be reconditioned for reuse after at least one use. Reconditioning can include any combination of the steps of disassembly of the device, followed by cleaning or replacement of particular pieces, and subsequent reassembly. In particular, the device can be disassembled, and any number of the particular pieces or parts of the device can be selectively replaced or removed in any combination. Upon cleaning and/or replacement of particular parts, the device can be reassembled for subsequent use either at a reconditioning facility, or by a surgical team immediately prior to a surgical procedure.
- reconditioning of a device can utilize a variety of techniques for disassembly, cleaning/replacement, and reassembly. Use of such techniques, and the resulting reconditioned device, are all within the scope of the present application.
